Test Collision With Surface

This compound uses the particle's collision with an obstacle as a trigger for an effect.

Plug this compound's Result output into a Trigger port on a State compound or in a Condition port of an If node, and plug its Save Hit Location into the Execute on Trigger port on a State compound.

For more information on collisions, see Motion Control and Surface Interaction Behavior for ICE Particles.

Tasks: Particles/Conditionals,Particles/Surface Interaction

Output Ports: Hit, Save Collision Location

Surface1	The object with which the particles collide. This must be an object with a surface. Plug the object's Value output into this port.
Collision Method	The method used for collision calculations: Deformed Collision (Continuous) for colliding with a shape-animated or deform-animated obstacle. Static Collision for colliding with an obstacle that doesn't change shape over time.
Offset Method	The method by which the particles are offset from the obstacle: Use Particle Size considers the particle size upon collision. Use Offset Distance uses the value that you enter for the Offset Distance.
Offset Distance	The distance in Softimage units by which the particles are offset from the obstacle.
